Overalls: The Trend That’s About To Be All Over?

The last time overalls were cool, it was when we were 8 years old, and the Gap was making a standard denim style. Apparently they’re back, both in high-fashion labels (Chloé, Ralph Lauren, Proenza Schouler, and Cavalli, to name a few) and in mass markets. How do we know this trend is really happening?

Because we laughed out loud.Here’s the thing: If it’s hit the Willyburg hipsters, it’s already a trend that’s half over. Which might just be for the better. What do you think—is the overall look do-able? How would you make it work? [New York Times]
